MS DYNAMITE, ASHANTI & JA RULE PICK UP TOP MOBOS
MS DYNAMITE joined American stars ASHANTI and JA RULE as the big winners of last night's Mobo Awards
The British R'n'B sensation won a hat-trick of prizes was including UK Act of the Year, Best Newcomer, while her first hit 'It Takes More' was named Single of the Year.
The award for best R 'n' B Act went to Ashanti, while US rapper Ja Rule picked up Best Hip Hop Act - and drove fans wild with his raunchy performance.
But it was Ms Dynamite's night, again. Just a fortnight ago she hit the big time when she landed the highly-regarded Mercury title for debut album 'A Little Deeper'.
That release missed out on the Best Album prize to US performer Alicia Keys, who was rewarded for her worldwide smash 'Songs In A Minor'.
Ms Dynamite - real name Niomi Daley - from Kentish Town, north London, had been nominated for six titles at the annual ceremony which celebrates music of black origin.
She was among the performers at the show at London Arena, wowing fans with the garage MC-ing skills that first got her an audience.
Many of the top prizes were grabbed by overseas acts but Britain's haul included a best garage prize for Mis-Teeq, whose singer Alesha Dixon was hosting the awards alongside US rapper LL Cool J.
Two late stars cast their presence over the ceremony when Aaliyah and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes were given posthumous prizes.
Aaliyah - killed in a plane crash last year - took the Best Video title for 'More Than A Woman', while TLC member Lopes, killed in a car crash this year, was given an Outstanding Achievement award.
During her lifetime, Lopes scored seven top 20 hits in the UK with her band, featured on Mel C's number one 'Never Be The Same Again' and had a solo hit.
Acclaimed US act Norah Jones - whose father is Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar - took the Best Jazz Act prize.
Soul diva Chaka Khan, who scored hits fronting the band Rufus before going solo and having a UK number one with 'Prince's I Feel For You', took the Lifetime Achievement award.
Gay campaigners mounted a small protest outside the venue as guests arrived after being upset by the inclusion of acts on the shortlist which they said had homophobic lyrics.
Campaigners OutRage! were disturbed that Elephant Man, T.O.K. and Capleton were up for the Best Reggae prize. The prize actually went to Sean Paul.
